I understand 5498 and 1099R reporting is changing from 1998 to 1999 for Roth conversions . . .
If I convert my traditional IRA to a Roth in 1999, is the conversion amount reported as a contribution or rollover on the 5498 for the Roth?
Is the conversion amount reported as a regular withdrawal on the 1099R for the traditional IRA.
Does anyone know what the new forms will look like?
